Make note of what the official said and as others have said report him to the league and the assigning supervisor, they will address it.

Apparently you do need to "LEARN THE RULES"
I will cite the rules for you feel free to look them up
NFHS rules
Rule 10 Fouls and Penalties
Section 4
Art 1
a) disrespectfully addressing an official
b) trying to influence an officials decision
Sticking a rule book in the official's face to show him up and quoting a rule from that book to make the official change their mind would qualify
WHACK AND AWAY YOU GO
I do not care how wrong the official is you are not going to pull out a rule book (by rule) and not get whacked.
